“A Dalliance with the Damned [Part 1 of 3”
Seviram’s petition to Lord Arux to align Effrul with Lucifer is rejected. Lady Lys takes one of the damned, named Christopher Rudd, to be her lover. Lord Arux sends a messenger off with a message for Lucifer that everything will be in order when Lucifer arrives in Effrul for his duel with Amenadiel. The messenger is killed by a group of conspirators headed by Seviram, and a new message is sent to Lucifer.
